Whenever I work with Tiny, I feel motivated, safe, and confident enough to deal with any kind of critical patient, believing that she is there to lend a hand whenever we become busy.
Tiny's role is very vivid in the unit.There were incidences where she proved her skills and colibre. She possesses loud leadership qualities. Whenever I work with her, I feel motivated, safe, and confident enough to deal with any kind of critical patient, believing that she is there to lend a hand whenever we become busy. The ICU is with multiple kinds of equipments and gases. And it is the team leader's responsibility to make our environment safe enough to practice in the absence of the charge nurse and nurse manager. While the empty rooms were checked to admit the next client, malfunctioning of a flow meter was noticed, there by, the maintanence team was informed and arrived to sort out the issue. It was around 5pm that the O2 started to leak from the valve uncontrollably staring at a threat right in it to the unit.

Meanwhile, there were two cardiac arrest management with DC shock was on the go. Having considered the threat of lives, she started to prepare for evacuation. Subsequently, she announced the preparation of evacuation, contacted the concerned authorities like admin, security, and the like. For about three hours, the unit was upside down. She directed staff to prepare a step-down unit to admit ICU patients. I found her dedication towards her profession, compassion towards patients safety of the unit, beyond all being calm composed, but bold enough to deal with the situation without panicking others. I witnessed her confidence in managerial skills. The authorities of the hospital and unit appreciated her presence of mind to handle the situation on time.
